    At least we all know Randolph will not lead his team to the playoffs.

    Elite teams don't play like this, not even when its on a back to back.

    They must've overdosed on In N Out last night...

    The collapse started from the 3rd qtr. I just don't understand why there's no even ONE time out called?

    shane and tracy really struggled tonight (tracy moreso in the 2nd half; shane the entire game). that's 2 starters not ready for a b2b.

    let's not panic.

    shane went 0-fer until that last shot. that's not gonna happen a lot.

    and tracy tried to attack but just couldn't get calls. and he looked more lethargic tonight.

    outside of yao, everybody looked atrocious. bad game. keep pluggin

    I hate to say this. But we are stuck with TMac. He was a great player, but not anymore. He played ok, but far below what can be expected from his payment. Just hope they can manage to pass the 1st round.

    this was by far the most frustrating Rockets game I have ever watched. that stretch of three straight steals off inbounds passes followed by a fourth steal from Yao down low, every single one of them lead to a basket.

    that was the end of the game right there.

    absolutely pathetic effort tonight by the Rockets. a real gut-check.

    i don't care about injuries. you don't let the Clippers run over you like that.

    just embarassing

    we're not an elite team yet.

    not when tracy is not fully there, battier is not fully there, artest is not even there.

    I think our players like being the most blocked team in the league.

    I typically dont like to blame the officiating for any loss, and the Rockets have done more than their own part to lose this game, BUT.....

    I hate games like this.

    Why does it seem this year that the losses are more painful than ever. Just take a look at some of the inexcusable losses we have had

    1) San Antonio
    2) Indiana
    3) Memphis
    4) Portland
    5) Dallas
    6) tonite.

    The reason is that he's as much a Yao's fan as much as you are a yao hater. Eat it.
